The Shaws have been in full-time ministry for nearly 40 years. They've done everything from ministry of helps (10 years) to international itinerant missions (16 years). They pastored for 11 years and have been corporate prayer specialists since 2016. They are international conference hosts and speakers.
As a speaker, Denise has primarily focused on teaching the authority of the believer and corporate prayer. She is a published author, with many books, articles and blogs to her credit. One of her more recent works, "Understanding Authority in Prayer," will be considered a classic for the generations to come.
Bryan and Denise founded Adoration Ministries, Inc. in January of 1998, as a non-profit, 501(c)3 evangelistic organization based in Branson, Missouri. They have traveled extensively throughout North America and across the globe. With a sincere passion to see God move, they work effectively to bridge denominational barriers wherever they go. They know what God wants to do is bigger than any single group and work tirelessly to facility unity among believers (Ephesians chapter 4).
Most recently, Adoration Ministries has added a weekly radio broadcast and podcast called THE VOICE OF THANKSGIVING. It can be found on multiple platforms: Spotify, YouTube, Rumble, Amazon Music and iHeart Radio, as a few local radio stations. In 2016 they launched Prayer for the Nations, based in Terre Haute, Indiana. Seeing many doors of opportunity open, the Shaws are working once again out of their home State of Indiana. With a heart for missions and local church planting, the corporation has been revived as "Adoration International" with their global base of operations located Branson, Missouri.
Denise holds ministerial credentials (ordination) with Rhema Ministerial Association International (aka Kenneth Hagin Ministries) and A Glorious Church Fellowship (aka Billye Brim Ministries) - highly respected organizations which focus upon ministerial ethics and integrity. She is a graduate of Indiana State University (Terre Haute, Indiana) and Rhema Bible Training Center (aka Rhema Bible Training College) in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. She has studied under or been mentored by such men and women as Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin, Dr. Billye Brim, Drs. Ken & Lynette Hagin, Dr. Jim Kaseman, Apostle Keith Taylor (Terre Haute, Indiana), and Apostle Glenn Dunlop (Belfast, Northern Ireland).
